Taz Taylor - "I'm over the moon with how the weekend has gone here at Oulton Park, I really do like the circuit and the RS Racing KTM has been working so well here. I really wanted to try and get away from the start so I did not get stuck in any chaos on the opening laps. I got my head down, managed to set a new lap record and just wanted to stay consistent. I kept an eye on my lap board and just carried on putting in consistent lap times.

I would like to say a huge thank you again to all my sponsors and my family for making this possible. I really am enjoying my racing this year and the bike is brilliant. I can't wait to get to Snetterton in a couple of weeks time."
